Colonial boutique hotel in Mérida plus affiliated hacienda property outside the city. Varied plumbing scope across two distinct historic property types.

About the role

The hacienda cisterns of the Yucatán are engineering achievements from the 19th century that still work today — gravity-fed water storage systems built from limestone block that have outlasted everything built around them. The plumber who maintains that original infrastructure alongside modern hotel plumbing is working at the intersection of heritage and function that defines Yucatán hospitality.
